40m people rely on the Colorado River, which year after year shows less water in it. Denver Water has declared drought conditions and restricts residential use. You’re saying we shouldn’t care about the new water use equal to 16000 people? www.governing.com/finance/denv...

Denver’s New Data Center to Use as Much Water as 16,000 People

As city leaders try to reduce carbon emissions and conserve water amid a 20-year drought, a proposed tax break for a new, water-intensive data center is drawing scrutiny.

11. In essence, Trump asked a majority of voters to trade democracy and the rule of law for an IOU, and to the shock and horror of the civilized world, a majority of voters accepted.

7. What on earth is the White House trying to prove? Not that Trump is a good president. More like proving his enemies right. This, for instance, from @brianbeutler.bsky.social: www.offmessage.net/p/donald-tru...

"Trump is the imperfect figurehead of a corrupt cabal of plutocrats and ideological fanatics, who have used his political movement to foment something like a revolution, short of igniting civil war: Collapse the democratic order globally, replace it with great power spheres, and subservient, corrupt courtier states. Collapse the democratic order domestically, replace it with a rightwing autocracy."

By a 1 vote margin, Republicans voted to continue the Iran war that had spiked your gas prices to $5 a gallon and caused inflation to soar. Remember this when you vote in November.

Never be afraid to be silly. Jim Henson took great delight in Muppets blowing up or devouring each other. There is beauty in absurdity and hilarity. Indulge it.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

Regarding his interest in horror, King says "It’s built in. That’s all. The first movie I ever saw was a horror movie. It was Bambi. When that little deer gets caught in a forest fire, I was terrified, but I was also exhilarated." He recalls showing his mother a story he copied out of a comic book. She responded: "I bet you could do better. Write one of your own." He recalls "an immense feeling of possibility at the idea, as if I had been ushered into a vast building filled with closed doors and had been given the key to open any I liked."

“When, during the course of an interview for The New Yorker, I told the interviewer (Mark Singer) that I believed stories are found things, like fossils in the ground, he said that he didn't believe me. I replied that that was fine, as long as he believed that I believe it. And I do. Stories aren't souvenir tee-shirts or GameBoys. Stories are relics, part of an undiscovered pre-existing world. The writer's job is to use the tools in his or her toolbox to get as much of each one out of the ground intact as possible. Sometimes the fossil you uncover is small, a seashell. Sometimes it's enormous, a Tyrannosaurus Rex with all those gigantic ribs and grinning teeth. Either way, short story or thousand-page whopper of a novel, the techniques of excavation remain basically the same.”

A part of me wishes that the news organizations would just ignore Trump and let the propaganda flow, but he relishes the attention. And it's a distraction always from Epstein which is the number one most important issue that we should not take our eye off of.

Gosh, if only there were some kind of professional organization for White House journalists that existed to advocate for the First Amendment and defend the freedom of the press. They could organize together as a united front against Trump's censorship. That would be something.

The White House Press Corps should've walked out as soon as the Trump regime banned the Associated Press for calling the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of Mexico." That was Feb 15, 2025. The first month of Trump Term II. Not surprising that abandoning principles for weak acquiescence led to more abuse.

Tierra Walker died after she couldn’t get an abortion. Her family is suing Ken Paxton

The case, filed Tuesday, argues that Texas’ near-total abortion ban violates the state and U.S. Constitutions, which “prohibit state actors from killing their citizens.”
